Speaking exercise

I think this movie maybe tell us to to be kind to others. His family always thinks that the bad things happen are always because of the grandfather and they don’t think of why they failed so many times and why these bad things happen on them.

I think they have good relationship. Even Stanley knows the reason of camp was because of Zero, he didn’t be angry to Zero. Instead, he was friendly to Zero and they became good friends.

I think they’re a little bit strange. He was caught by the police.

We have more subjects to learning and we have more homework and also we’re preparing for the high school exam. On Saturday, I have many lessons but I’m free on Sunday. Maybe I like last year because I have more free time to get out and play and I didn’t have too much homework after school. I always swim in summer. Sometimes, I like to play basketball but I didn’t take any class of it.

Revised: 

I think this movie maybe tells us to be kind to others. His family always thinks that the bad things happen are always happen because of their grandfather and they don’t think of/reflect on why they failed so many times and why these bad things happen to them.

I think they have a good relationship. Even though Stanley knows the reason why he came to camp was because of Zero, he didn’t become angry with Zero. Instead, he was still friendly to Zero and they became good friends.

I think they’re a little bit strange/abnormal. He was caught by the police.

We have more subjects to learn and we have more homework (this year) and also we’re preparing for the high school exams. On Saturdays, I have many lessons but I’m free on Sundays. Maybe I like/prefer last year because I have more free time to go out and play and I didn’t have too much homework after school. I always swim in summer. Sometimes, I like to play basketball but I never take any classes.Â
